A fake that could easily be spotted by an intermediate or experienced collector, but it might fool newbies. Here's what I see that makes me think it's definitely a fake:
The second 9 in 1909 appears off. The 9 isn't "closed" enough
The S mintmark has an irregular shape and looks nothing like the real mintmark
The left side of the reverse rim is irregular, not sharp and clear like the real thing
